This video deconstructs the CAGED system and presents it using easy-to-understand animated building blocks, starting with TRIADS, adding on PENTATONIC SCALES, and finishing with the MAJOR SCALE MODES. This is everything you need to unlock the fretboard and get started improvising.

As someone coming from a piano background and trying to make sense of the fretboard I cannot thank you enough. This video has taught me more in 15 minutes than any other source has in the 6 months I've been attempting to learn. I really appreciate this video's focus on bridging the gap between theory and shapes as all other videos seemed to focus on the latter without really explaining why these shapes work!

Instead of mindlessly memorizing fretboard scales this makes so much more sense to me! I finally feel like this is worth my time memorizing the fretboard since it's based on a simple logic I can apply anywhere. It also helps a lot mastering a 7-string guitar. With that being said: Yeah science and SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

The best applied music theory videos I have ever seen, bar none! The only "complaint" anyone could ever have, is that you manage to pack so much information into 15 minutes, others would probably make 4 videos out of it. Important to make sure you have internalized every aspect before you move on to the next, or valuable information might just get washed away. Thank you so much for your efforts, you're awesome!

Ming-bogglingly good stuff! What I love about this lesson is the layer concept, building up from roots to chord tones to pentatonics to modes. So helpful to see how all of these come together in a stack. I'm doing a deep dive on chord tones right now and already know my pentatonic shapes (and how to build them almost instantly with the rectangle and stack). After watching this video, I have a leg up now that I know how to see the chord tones within the pentatonics. Brilliant! Leaning each of the layers you show in the video may take a bit of time, but so worth it for the freedom I'm already starting to feel moving around the fretboard. Such a musical confidence boost and my playing has taken a very satisfying leap forward. Thank you for laying out this valuable information! I deeply appreciate the care and thoughtfulness you've put into each of your videos.

This really is the best, most logical way to describe and map the guitar fretboard for creating music with chords and melodies. Seeing your videos is like having my mental process explained after-the-fact . . . Now I'm going to bug you to finish the job by adding the "interval ear training part" that explains the value of your "rectangle" and "stack" visuals. When I finally became free on the fretboard, it was because I realized that, wherever a finger was resting on a "root note", I could crank out a minor pentatonic by hitting the note two frets below (a minor 7th) or three frets above (a minor third) and continuing in the pentatonic shape I already knew from hard experience. And similarly, I could play a major pentatonic by hitting the note two frets *above* the root (a major 2nd) or three frets *below* (a major 6th) and continuing in a familiar pentatonic pattern. Yes, I had to know what the right pentatonic pattern would be in order to do that. Your video is showing them to anyone who hasn't already learned them. Better yet, your "rectangle" sounds like the opening riff of "Layla" (5 - b7 - 1 - b3 - 1 - b7 - 1) and your "stack" makes the sound of Jimmy Page's fast middle riff from "Dazed and Confused" (4 - 5 - b7 - 1 - b3 - 4 - b3 - 1). Then my ear and fingers can add in all the color notes I care to do. Long comment to say a short kudo and a plea for guitar tone examples . . . cheers!
@fretscience
@fretscience Жыл бұрын
I left that as an exercise for the viewer 🤣 In all seriousness, I will likely do a video about how to learn how intervals sound in different contexts…it is an area that can’t really be taught directly-you have to do a fair amount of work to train yourself to associate interval names with the tonal “colors” you hear. As you can see, I have some work to do before I can explain it clearly.

Wow, my head is exploiting...so many useful information in just one short video clip. I have to rewatch this often times and memorize all the nuggets but I am pretty sure this will help me to gain more confidence while improvising over the fretboard a lot. Keep the work up, it is great! You deserve millions subscribers!

I am currently practicing minor pentatonic scales and I had already come with the realizing that what really matters is where the root is under your fingers and not the chord type that a box is supposed to fit into. I just found your channel and I think that the way that you look at the fretboard matches very well with the way that I have started to look at it based on my intuition. I subscribed inmediately.
